Our special collection is growing nicely, already featuring six published papers and more under review/in production #animalcognition #vocalcommunication

Looks really good: comparing #infant-directed #communication across #greatapes with humans. This identifies a very significant evolutionary shift.

Fig. 2 from the article: Effects of experimental treatments on noisy miner mobbing responses (n = 24 playback trials, six repeated sets of four). (a)–(c) Effect of playback location with respect to colony boundaries on (a) latency to respond, (b) latency to chur call, (c) duration of response; (d) effect of caller familiarity (pale grey familiar, dark grey unfamiliar) on the number of responders according to playback location.

NEW PAPER: noisy miner mobbing is not indiscriminate, with location relative to colony borders and caller familiarity both influencing the expression and strength of mobbing behaviour.
